The best place for a chill lunch that you can imagine. I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been great, but drunken noodles this time were so good that it compelled me to write this review. Very friendly staff and quiet, serene atmosphere. Going to make this a habit to come back regularly.

We came in later evening on a Tuesday and were seated right away. The server was the only one, but it’s not a huge place and it wasn’t overly busy. Our order was taken quickly and the food came out quickly. We got the soup and potstickers first, both were really delicious. The soup was creamy. The potstickers were nice and crunchy. We both got pad Thai’s. They have a little bit different sauce than I’ve had around (homemade) but it was still familiar and really tasty. I got a 1 spice which was essentially nothing and my husband got a 3, which was very noticeable. He loved it. I think I would go for a 2 next time. Just a note that the menu is limited with the season, but there was still plenty of options. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others.

This is a regular place for my office for lunch. I think I’ve had about a third of the menu, and everything has been amazing.

Perfect experience. The pictures posted by reviewers under-represent the quality, freshness and taste. The service by Dolly (sp?) was on point. I have quite a few allergies (gluten, dairy, ginger, MSG, celery) and she didn’t blink. She knew the menu well. The food was so delicious. We are Asian, and do look for authentic preparation. The flavor balances were well composed. I had a pot of Tom Kha, which was served hot in a special serving apparatus kept warm over fire. Nice touch. I also got chicken Larb. My sister got Tom Yum and Pad Se-ew. I chose spice level 2 and could have handled 3/5, and it was all delicious. Generous sized portions. Reasonable prices. We had lots of left overs. Tea was served in a charming elephant pot. Great stop on our road trip. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely delicious! Best Pad Thai in Des Moines. Try the pad see ew, it’s to die for. Service is friendly, fast, price is great and servings are huge, Tom Yum soup is great when you are feeling under the weather. A serious hidden gem! Image posted is of drunken noodles.

Hidden gem! I have been looking for a good cellophane noodles (glass noodles) dish. Here they call it silver garden. Outstanding! Got it at #2 spicy and was perfect lip tingling heat. Veggies were crisp and beef tender. Only downside was I ate it all and have no leftovers. Finished with fried bananas and ice cream. Fried in crunchy spring roll wrap. Perfect finish! (Menu subject to change, like everything these days. Be flexible.)

Very yummy food at a good price. Some menu items were not available due to the season. We had Patay Curry and Angry Fever, both with tofu. Spicy level 3 was very hot. 1 was just right for us.

It looks like this restaurant is struggling. There is far better Pad Thai cuisine in the Des Moines area. The service was efficient but the location looks like it has been under maintained.

Unbelievably good Thai food. The curry was thick and super flavorful, and the Pad See Ew was mouth watering. Definitely would suggest to anyone who loves Thai food.
